There are more non-English presentations at #CL2023 ! Here, Dario Del Fante presents what metaphors were used in Italian news both during the emigration period 1900–1914 and the immigration period in later years.

I mentioned to my PhD chat group buddies that it’d be lovely to see them on Mastodon, and some have agreed to give it a go.

So I’m asking for help. In advance of them arriving, I’d love to be able to point them at this post and replies to find their connections. Are you doing a #phd too? What’s it about? Have you just finished one and have some advice?

[edit: mine's about getting kids interested in data science at school]

Could you help me find as many PhD researchers as possible?

Looks like I might get to see some of CL2023, despite the fact I'm stuck in a wheelchair in Poland. This is excellent news.

On the website for my corpus of 21st century Scots there is a utility to compare different dialects.

It works by generating lists of the top 200 most common words in each dialect and then displaying which words the dialects have in common.

It is supposed to look like a Euler diagram with two overlapping groups. But its a bit unintuitive.

It works if you know what you're looking at, but if you don't then its just colours and shapes.

A colourful Euler diagram taken from wikipedia that uses coloured rectangle and other shapes to show the relationships between different Solar System objects, where things like Dwarf Planets are a sub-set of Minor Planets, etc.

Finally getting round to writing a short #introduction for my new #mastodon account:

My #PhD at Osnabrück University 🇩🇪 was in applied #linguistics/English language teaching and I'm now a postdoc research fellow at the Centre for English Corpus Linguistics (CECL) at UCLouvain 🇧🇪. I like all things #CorpusLinguistics, #LanguageTeaching & #OpenScience! 🤓

I also work as a freelance conference interpreter (🇫🇷 🇬🇧 🇩🇪), spend far too many hours on trains 🚄 and like tea 🫖, cake 🍰 & emoji! 😇
